Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Driver A and Driver B race each other away from a traffic light on a city street and reach 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. No one is hurt, and there is no crash. What is true under New Hampshire law?
Correct answer: Both drivers can be charged with reckless driving for the race
Why
RSA 265:79 treats driving in a race, driving to set a speed record, and any driving that endangers the lives or safety of the public as reckless driving. A conviction leads to loss of the license, a youth operator faces extra penalties, and a second offense can require an SR-22 insurance filing. Racing is dangerous because the drivers watch each other instead of pedestrians, cross traffic and signals.
